Buffalo Niagara is home to more than 400 independently owned
restaurants offering a range of food for every palate and
pocketbook.

Celebrating Our Cuisine

More than 60 local restaurants and wineries serve their fare at
Taste of Buffalo, the
largest two-day food festival in the United States. Over Labor Day
Weekend, we pay tribute to our deep-fried claim to fame at the
annual National Buffalo Wing
Festival.

Locally Grown

From late spring through fall, farmers
markets crop up throughout our eight-county region. You can buy
everything local there, from fresh produce to maple syrup,
free-range beef and chicken, baked goods, jams, herbs, yogurt and
artisanal cheese.

UB hosts a popular farmers
market on the South Campus. There also is a farmers market
outside Capen Hall on the North Campus during warmer months and
inside on the first floor of Capen when the weather turns cold.

Thanks to a profusion of local farms and orchards, you
don’t have to travel far to pick your own produce either.
Apples, cherries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries
represent just a portion of Western New York’s amazing
agricultural bounty.

Hiking, skiing, water sports and more: The area’s outdoor scene offers an array of opportunities to be active year-round. We’ve got top-rated golf courses, not to mention Lake Erie and the Niagara River.

From quaint pubs and cozy corner coffeehouses to stylish dance clubs and eclectic live-music joints, you’re sure to find a scene in one of several distinct districts that suits your style and your budget.
